Universal Earth Rod Clamp for 17.2mm Copper-Bonded Rod

The Universal Earth Rod Clamp for 17.2mm Copper-Bonded Rod (ARK-RD01) is an ARK earthing and lightning protection component manufactured by DFMHUB in India. It connects an approved earthing conductor to the earth electrode while providing a controlled, inspectable contact point. It is intended for engineered systems in commercial buildings, industries, data centres, high-rise developments, infrastructure and solar projects. The catalogue code gives procurement, consultants and site teams a controlled item to coordinate with the BOQ, approved drawings and inspection plan.

The conductor-to-electrode joint is a critical part of an earthing and lightning protection system. A clamp must fit the intended rod and conductor, provide adequate contact area and remain mechanically secure in a damp, chemically active environment. A universal label does not mean one clamp fits every electrode diameter, conductor section or material combination.

Installation quality is as important as the clamp itself. Contact surfaces must be prepared without damaging protective coatings, and fasteners must be tightened by the approved method. The joint should remain accessible inside a suitable pit so it can be visually checked, disconnected when the design permits and included in continuity or earth-system testing
